I’m running cert-manager on our Kubernetes cluster which requests for a LE cert every time a new feature branch is created.

Previously we were on 0.2.0 and I think we hit the domain limit as we have quite a number of feature branches.

Unfortunately it appears that cert-manager keeps re-requesting and it hit some kind of IP block.

Now I see the following error when we describe the issuer.

Warning ErrVerifyACMEAccount 1m (x11 over 2m) cert-manager Failed to verify ACME account: acme: urn:ietf:params:acme:error:rateLimited: Your IP, 52.x, has been blocked due to ridiculously excessive traffic. Once this is corrected you may request this be reviewed on our forum https://community.letsencrypt.org
Warning ErrInitIssuer 1m (x11 over 2m) cert-manager Error initializing issuer: acme: urn:ietf:params:acme:error:rateLimited: Your IP, 52.x, has been blocked due to ridiculously excessive traffic. Once this is corrected you may request this be reviewed on our forum https://community.letsencrypt.org

Would like to request for an unblock so that we can test the upgraded cert-manager which should (hopefully) reduce the limit by using wildcard certs.

Thanks!

Not very comfortable sharing the actual ip here, how can we securely send this?
